Within a partnership, two individuals engage with each other according to the mechanics of their unique Designs. But as soon as a child is introduced to the partnership a Penta is formed—an auric entity that functions according to very different mechanics.

Without awareness of how each family member contributes to a Penta, we can easily lose our individual identity and become subject to dynamics beyond our control. The Penta dynamic operates not only within families but any small grouping of 3 to 5 people; we all have experienced the distinct change when a third person joins a conversation…

Another trans-auric entity is the Wa, which forms when 9 to 16 people come together. We all become part of a Wa when we enter a public place or attend a large social gathering, and the Wa dominates most work environments. It is impacted by outside forces and without awareness of these forces we are left to the whims of the Program, a programming environment described by Ra as a formula without intent.

So how can we maintain our individual self within the powerful energy field of these trans-auric forms? In You and Your Family, Ra introduces us to the mechanics of Penta and Wa, and how to be aware of and deal with the impact of these powerful forces.
